Knox College

Second favorite discovery quote: “Our students are unironically idealistic. To them, this education isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity—and not because it’ll get them a job, though it will. It’s a necessity because they believe, they really believe, that intelligence and growth and being a contributing member of society are necessary, inherently valuable things.” Favorite discovery quote, possibly ever: “I asked my tour guide if I’d be right for Knox. She said: ‘Are you a compelling human being?’”
